After a fair while of speculation, rumours and leaks Qualcomm finally unveiled the Snapdragon 855. As we expected in the run up to the SoC’s launch, it is Qualcomm’s first 7nm chipset and will find it’s home in the flagship smartphones of 2019. But, we didn’t really know much about the sort of performance.

AMD’s upcoming 12nm Ryzen refresh (known as Zen+) will be an interesting one, with the company touting improvements in clock speeds, soldered IHS and the inclusion of Precision Boost 2. In theory at least, this will help AMD fend off Intel’s Coffee Lake series of processors until AMD can put out the next generation.
